2x 970 vs 980ti

[zangetsu19]

hi peps,

which would be more worth it 2 x 970 ti in sli
or a 980 ti?

from what i read the 980 ti would be better is that correct?

Yes go with a 980 ti. Jayztwocents did a comparison video so check that out. There was barely any difference between the two however the 980 ti has 2.5gb more VRAM while being supported in every game (not dependent on sli scaling) and lastly the ability to add another down the line

..if you can get a single card that is as powerful as the two card alternative, then its best to do so.

..the 980Ti with a bit of overclocking will at least match 970Sli and you won't have to worry about any driver problems either.

980 Ti all the way

Now to pull th trigger on a 980 ti!

Moving from 970 SLI to a single Ti. Guess we all agree.

the question is which one? G1 gaming seems to be the mutts nuts at the moment...

I think it's overpriced at the moment. I got myself an EVGA superclocked reference 980Ti along with a full cover waterblock for the same price as a Gigabyte G1

I went with the reference, its pretty silent while keeping under 80c most of the time. You could always adjust the temp limit though if that is something you're concerned about.

ta guys, watch that jay thing aswell.

think 980ti it is doesnt seem a bad card.

just not sure which make is the best.

i shall have a look at the g1

The G1 is good for performance. But the MSI Gaming is another good one, overclocks very well, decent stock clocks. And the cooler is my favourite bit, very quiet and fans don't spin below 60 degrees. I just hope the put a backplate on it, the 970 didn't have one unless one bought the 10 million edition, but the new 390x has a backplate.

I'd advise you to get the Zotac 980Ti that's currently on offer in the thread I've linked below. The offer is only valid for this weekend though so if you want it I'd hurry. The price is great, and it's not even a reference card!

The G1 is an absolute belter of a card, but a bit pricey. I've ordered the msi myself as it was a bit cheaper, (£575.99 when I ordered). Unfortunately there aren't any reviews of it out yet.

They did

Disappointingly, the Galax HoF will be without backplate

Edit: yeah that's the LN2 version, the regular air cooled one looks almost the same.

If you already have a 970 it would be cheaper to get another one and put them in SLI rather than pay that big price for the 980ti.

 

[razorpakk]

Also the Inno3D X3 Ultra is worth considering.
Waiting for MSI reviews before pulling the trigger on either one of them.

Creating a new build so this will be my first card.

i was going to get the 970 to start with but gonna get the Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34 pannel so wanted to make sure the card can handle it at high res.

i like the MSI ones how do the EVGA compare to them?
